While C++ has traditionally dominated High-Frequency Trading (HFT) due to granular memory control, Hold to compare Rust provides similar performance Rust's ownership model effectively eliminates the need for a Garbage Collector without sacrificing performance.
The core distinction lies in compile-time guarantees. In C++, memory safety is a developer responsibility runtime risk managed by strict coding standards . Rust moves this to the compiler.
